Hey all, long time no see!
I’ve finally had the chance to give a bit more depth to my project, see the new comment in the gist here 
I ended up going back on a previous comment I made in the Community Involvement thread and have set my sights on using Monty for object inference (as vclay suggested) with multiple sensors.
I noticed that @vclay released some tutorials back in April for custom Monty applications and using Monty for robotics, so I’ll need to check them out soon!
I also managed to secure a supervisor who specialises in robotics, programming and AI at my university!
The project isn’t set in stone yet, and might change before it’s start date early October, so any suggestions/alterations/criticisms are welcome.
I’m very much looking forward to this and hope I’m able to create something worthy of the Project Showcase page!
